150k more? I dunno, that's a tough pill to swallow.

You can get to academic IM from Toledo. You also have a pretty solid amount of matches into more competitive specialties too: Match Day Results: 2020

Agreed, I think for me since I can probably get to where I want to go (any tier of academic IM that is in a more desirable location), my choice seems to come down to "is it worth saving 150k to spend 4 years in Toledo"

Also, if anyone could comment on finding research at external programs I would be thankful. I'm not sure if this is possible or just wishful thinking.

Get in touch with current students and see how their experience has been. For IM, my hunch is that you likely can find more than enough research at Toledo itself.

Given that you are interested in academic IM for future career I would say Wayne State. Something unique about Wayne that I'm not sure if Toledo would offer is that they have so many diverse cases that may come up during your clinical years due to Wayne's location and underserved communities it works with. The clinical training you'll receive at Wayne will likely be better than Toledo and allow you to get more publications because of greater number of interesting clinical cases.

Toledo sounds like the best choice for you based on what you’ve said. If you just like being in Detroit, but don’t see yourself being there long-term, you could always just do a weekend trip up there, as it‘s an hour drive up from Toledo. You’re right about Wayne’s close match record. They want IS and Midwestern students with ties to Michigan to stay in Michigan.
